The 2023 growing season at Taupenot Merme began with a mild winter, followed by moderate spring and summer temperatures, and avoided extreme heat spikes. Early budbreak in April, mid-blossom in June, and veraison by late July led to a harvest from September 11-25, following a cooler, rainy spell in late August. Despite a season marked by an overall water deficit, careful organic management and two green harvests in July produced a balanced crop.

"Dark fruit with smoke, cinnamon, and garrigue. Three-dimensional, fleshy, and full-bodied."
Our note

The 2023 wines show moderate acidity with alcohol levels ranging from 12.3-13.6%, and phenolic ripeness reached across each cuvée. Reflecting a restrained, terroir-driven vintage, these wines lean towards elegance and subtle expression, rather than overt power.

The domaine features as one of the Top 20 Côte de Nuits Red Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.

Optimal drinking window: 2026 - 2040

What the critics say:

17+/20Matthew Hayes, Jancis Robinson

"Cask sample. Mid ruby. Mature red cherry and cassis on the darker nose than the Combe d'Orveau just tasted. Rich and intense with good concentration. Moderate, fresh, crisp acidity and a finish dusted with pepper and spice. Some tannin on the finish."

92-94/100Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"Deeper in colour with a smooth ripe raspberry fruit that has retained tension. There is plenty of energy here, and it is very well put together with a firm persistence in the fruit. Compact yet with quite a volume of fruit, more linear than the other two. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024. ****"

93/100Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin

"Stunning aromatics of blackberries, freshly-baked pie crust and fireplace embers soar from the glass. Enchantingly creamy on the mid palate, lightly tugging tannins tag onto the long, spicy finish. Great vinosity."
